OUR BEGINNINGS

How we started
Founded in 2007, Alamo Peppers is locally owned, and operated in San Antonio, TX. Husband and wife team, Mark and Kathy Rodriguez possess a passion, and desire for the highest quality of food, flavor, and taste. And of course, heat! Alamo Peppers began creating our truly unique and flavorful seasoning blends, with our love of exotic, and hard to find chiles. We have partnered with very select farmers sharing our same beliefs regarding food, and their top quality to provide you, the absolute best quality chile peppers in the world. Taste our difference, and you be the judge.

Year of the Dog Thai chile pineapple hot sauce may well be Lucky Dog’s best sauce to date. Pronounced pineapple overtones blend seamlessly with the sublime flavor of red Thai chiles in a surprisingly savory fruit-based hot sauce.

Never one to shy away from complex flavor profiles, Lucky Dog Hot Sauce’s Year of the Dog attempts to redefine what a pineapple hot sauce can be.

The Karma Sauce Company was founded with the mission of providing you with the highest quality healthy and delicious foods. Foods like those we make for ourselves. No compromises, no cut corners.
Company Overview

We prep all our products in our own micro factory and grow most of our own veggies (especially peppers) on the Karma Sauce Farm. Most everything else comes from within 50 miles. We keep our eye on quality every step of the way. All of our award winning products are gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, dairy-free and preservative-free.

The Karma Sauce Company is dedicated to providing delicious food. Food that is good for you and a delight to your senses. When our first homemade batch of Karma Sauce was prepared for our group of locavores, the question wasn’t “Can we produce this?” but “How can we not?”

How can something so apparently opposite actually create a complementary relationship?

By themselves, Sam or Oliver are fun loving, free spirited companions that will bring cheer and warmth to my day. When they are together, their complementary methods of interaction form a dynamic relationship that cannot be broken. They are an indivisible whole; a team and an inspiration for my company, Sam & Oliver to model itself around. Stay resolute, passionate and confident. Take chances, focus on the good and to enjoy the adventure.

Many of life’s greatest discoveries, creations and changes happened because someone dared to question why. Dared to color outside the lines and take a chance at an idea. One of my dogs, Sam, is the very definition of rebel.

His chaotically good nature is a combination of good heart and free spirit; a pathfinder, benevolent and complete disregard for regulations.

Throughout my journey so far, I have stumbled and become ungrounded more than a few times. Frustrations, setbacks and lost recipes didn’t help much.

One day I was in a rush and had called my dogs into the house so I could prepare to leave. My oldest dog, Oliver, refused to comply, and I grew impatient. I walked outside and called for him to come in. Oliver sat in defiance. Again I called and he remained, resolute. I decided to walk over to Oliver and try again, however as I approached, he laid down. Standing over him, I sighed and thought to myself “Fine, if you aren’t moving, neither will I.”

The foun­da­tion of our phi­los­o­phy is to pro­duce award-winning all nat­ural prod­ucts while nour­ish­ing the needs of oth­ers less for­tu­nate. Our bold mis­sion is to rally to the defense of the under priv­i­leged by bring­ing their plights to a higher con­scious level in our com­mu­nity through our char­i­ta­ble works.

Oh yes we did! The most anticipated sauce of the year is here! We have combined the major food groups into one savory, smokey, beer bacon delight. This delicious sauce is like no other sauce you have ever tasted. This mild sauce is rated “E” for everyone & taste tested by some of the best culinary experts in the country. We’ve been told “the BBC is the best bacon sauce in the universe!” We will let you be the judge of that!

This is our second Scotty O’Hotty hot sauce we are reviewing. The first was their ghost sauce, and it received some really good marks. Out of 5 flaming hearts, every reviewer gave it a 4 1/2 flaming heart rating. One of the best scores a hot sauce has ever received on ILoveItSpicy. You can see those video reviews HERE. Since it is St. Patrick’s Day today, and we could not do any better than have a product named O’Hotty to review for this great Irish holiday. Will this habanero hot sauce do as well as the ghost pepper version. You will have to find out for yourselves.

Building on the success and momentum of last year’s Expo, Steve Seabury of High River Sauces is working very hard to elevate his baby to a whole new level. From last year’s outdoor event in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to the indoor confines of the Penn Plaza Pavilion right next to the infamous Penn Station in New York City. With a bigger venue, comes bigger expectations, but Steve Seabury seems up to the task with major spots lined up for the week. Highlighted by NBC Nightly News at 7pm on Thursday March 27 & CBS This Morning Show Saturday Morning at 8am. Pulling all his media connections together Steve has the print media, Radio and TV entertainment world covered. If you look at how well the first year went, then the 2nd year is bound to be an event for the ages.
